ps ive also had the nesting instinct come back with a vengance today, a sudden staight of panic and snappiness towards the kids and a good clearout... i dont think i shall be so lucky to see him here early id like him to stay put another week mind i like to get to 37 weeks!

 

[2nd time]

well the cae looks fab thank god been out and got decorations for the party tommorow and now just got to cook some yummy nibbles for the grown ups

 

[Tanikit]

Melissa it is exciting to know baby is getting ready to come out. Also having some prelabour symptoms but it could still be a wait to see if induction or natural will win.

Shell's yay for head down and in the right place. It does cause more pain, but at least it is getting near the end. With only half a week til full term for me I really wouldn't mind if baby decided to come soon - almost wish I could be in labour at my last appointment on 11 February (37 + 2) - I guess that is cause of the induction.

2nd time enjoy the party!

 

[Shell'sAngels]

im hoping for next weekend i know it wont happen though cuse my babies do like to stay put!! ive defo had enough now!! getting awful migranes too

 

[pinkycat]

I hope Your DD is felling better soon Brai
Yay for loosing your plug Blessed
I hope Baby has turned Shell.
Enjoy your DD's 1st birthday 2nd time

I hope i go into labour on my own before my section date (28 feb) or they bring my section forward.
Im starting to swell up a lot, especially my hands and face, so took my BP.
It was 190/150 so i took it again and it was 140/85 think the 1st reading wasn't right but will keep an eye on it and ring hospital if i need to

 

[Tanikit]

Next weekend would be nice Friday or Thursday or Wednesday would also lol... I'm guessing though that 18 February may be most likely as I will fight 21 February (my birthday) for sure and I am not sure I can hold out til 22 February (which is my cousin's birthday anyway) Really in the end it won't matter that much even if it is 21 February - I'll just be happy to have her in my arms.

Pinkycat get some rest and test again and then rest some more and test again - that first measurement is crazy and I hope it is wrong!

i know what you mean tanikit! i dealt with this for almost 2 weeks with my last pregnancy and then my water broke the day before my induction. he was born at midnight, i wished i could have went into labor that morning or just been induced the next day. i could very well be having these symptoms right up til induction day.

i already have a higher chance of a section due to low fluid and distress the baby could experience during labor from that. so knowing my body is at least preparing for labor is a good sign. at least i might not have to have one cuz labor is stalled and the induction isnt working. dont get me wrong though, i am fully ready for a section if baby needs it for any reason. whatever i have to do to get him here safely!

i am feeling a sense of peace about things, like even if he came today he would be ok. its nice to not feel all stressed about everything for once lately.

 

[blessedmomma]

chrissie- i hope that reading was wrong!!! are you sure you shouldnt get checked out? with all your swelling and that reading you got, i would probably get checked just to make sure baby was ok. what is your instincts telling you to do? are you still off your bp medicine?

 

[braijackava]

Was it a home BP machine? I have gotten a couple outrageous readings on mine only to get a normal one a few seconds later.
i decided i am good to go to 42 weeks. Haha i don't want to do labor and delivery at all and for sure not until i have to. So you guys can all go ahead of me. That's my new view on things.

 

[readynwilling]

Hope everyone is doing well. Chrissy i hope the bp goes back to normal quickly! Brai im with you - good till the bitter end LOL.

I picked up some cheapy pj's for my hospital bag today. So i am another step closer there. Not really packing it... just picking up the bits and peices.

I've started nesting now too.....getting anxious!

 

[Tanikit]

Went to church this morning and a good many people asked when baby is coming - I am sore and uncomfortable but luckily there is a couch at the back of our church as I can no longer cope on the chairs there - its too sore. Cept I am so tired I wanted to fall asleep!

BHs have increased slightly again - mostly in the evenings but they are present during the day now too. I looked dropped a whileback and still am except now baby is so big that I am back to being breathless - she's taking up all available room I think - you can stop growing now babes.

DD seems to be getting anxious - its like she knows Mom will be going away soon and has become more clingy, back in bed with us at night and she cried when I tried to drop her at Sunday school this morning so DH had to sit with her there. Not sure if she is picking up on my anxiety - I don't feel all that anxious but she is sensitive.

 

[pinkycat]

Yes it's a home BP machine. It seems to be the1st reading that is totally crazy, this morning it was 220/160 before being normal the next time i took it.
I really think it's the machine. My swelling seems to have gone down a lot today but i will mention it to the MW tomorrow.

Dh has had a major arguement with his dad at work (they work in the same company but in different departments) MIL has taken FIL's side and wouldn't come and see the kids yesterday. I also think she is going to be awkward about having the kids when baby comes.

I decided to assemble my new pram last night. Im glad i did cos the chassis is faulty. I had to order a replacement which is going to take 2weeks to get here sorry for the rant, feeling stressed and emotional today.

I hope everyone is having a good day xx

 

[kns]

Woo we are 37 weeks today! Having cervical sweeps from 38 and A half weeks to encourage things if he still not ire between 39 and 40 weeks then have to induce x

 

[Tanikit]

Yay for being full term! Baby can come any time now.

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for full term kns! and hope the sweep helps! OUCH!!!! glad im not getting one.

chrissie-i hope things get better for you.

melissa- yay for nesting.

tanikit- hope your DD does ok. i worry about my little ones when i have another. its hard for me to be away from them even for a minute.

hubby took me to church today, yay! its so good to get out of the house for a minute. been on my butt so long.... got home and feel so much pressure on my thighs, like i have been walking a lot. even though all i really did was sit, its silly.

 

[2nd time]

My birthday cake and the cup cakes my dh wanted

 

[membas#1]

super cute cake and cupcakes!

 

[msarkozi]

mmmm, those look great and yummy!

 

[Nixilix]

Love the cake! Well I am now on mat leave! No work tomorrow!!!! Ha a baby shower saturday and got some lovely gifts! I'm going to swim this week lots. Can't believe I'll be 37 wks on Friday!!

Hope everyone is keeping the bp down. We don't get offered a sweep until 41 wks here... Apparently a paracetsmol beforehand is a good tip

So anymore early labour signs? I don't think I'm going to get the nesting!! But I do poo like 3 times a day! And my ms has ranked up. Baby keeps swapping sides but staying head down. It's sore though cause got no room!!
